Brad Kay: Episode 5

03/07/19 • 29 min

Phantom Power! Pathos! Disney! Ragtime! Bivalves!

100 years later, it’s pretty cool to be infatuated with the twenties, but in the fifties, being so hep wasn’t so cool. Brad talks about how he discovered the music that got into his bones, what it was like to be an original outsider, and the road less traveled.
Songs include Joseph Lamb's "Sensation Rag", "When the Bluebirds and the Blackbirds Got Together", and an improvisational tune by Brad Kay.

Lael Neale: Episode 4

Cobainesque? Dylanesque? Ginsbergian? Lael Neale and I discuss the terms "straight coat vision", "white coat mistake", "white robed mystic" and other whipped delights.

In between clips from her live performance at the Los Angeles Troubadour in January 10, 2019, Lael and I talk about poetry and songwriting.
This episode includes the songs Beautiful Again, Third Floor Window, Black Boots, and Blue Vein from her forthcoming album.

For more information visit her website location online at www.laelneale.com or https://laelneale.bandcamp.com/releases

Assiduously, arduously, and ardently arranging alliteration, allusion and allegory,
Lael Neale anticipates, accomplishing amalgamated associations astonishingly.
